Acadiana Restaurant Review

: On the edge of Penn Quarter, Acadiana offers a menu that reflects primary chef Jeff Tunks’s Big Easy cooking life amid the restaurant’s large, stately interior, which suggests a luxury liner. The kitchen is positioned mid dining room, and the two dining areas are on an upper and a lower level. In the former setting, you'll find the bar with its overhead TV and sleek seating. Décor reinforces the Southern comfort vibe: flashes of wrought-iron grillwork and overwrought crystal chandeliers --- even a foot-high alligator statue. Appetizers include fried green tomatoes and crispy boudin balls, both apropos introductions to entrées like cornmeal-crusted catfish and Louisiana seafood gumbo. The oyster po' boy, here called “the peacemaker,” is a fitting tribute to New Orleans and Southern cooking at its best. End the meal with French market beignets or maybe Key lime pie.
